General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and

instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions may result in electric shock, re, and/or

serious injury.

Work Area Safety

► Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark work

areas invite accidents.

► Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such

as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power

Electrical Safety

► Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the

plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

► Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such

as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

► Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water

entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

► Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pull-

ing, or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled

cords increase the risk of electric shock.

► When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension

cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

► Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power

tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

► If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,

use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

► Never use an extension cord that is damaged, including cuts,

exposed wires, or bent/missing prongs. Damaged extension cords increase the risk of re or electric shock.

► Use only extension cords rated for the purpose.

► Use only extension cords rated for the amperage of this tool

and the length of the cord. Using too small of an extension

cord can cause the cord to overheat.

Extension Cord Ratings Cord Length Size (AWG)

<50 Ft. 14 50-100 Ft. 12 >100 Ft. Not recommended

Personal Safety

► Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense

when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may

result in serious personal injury.

► Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye pro-

tection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

► Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the

off-position before connecting to power source, picking up, or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

► Remove adjusting key or wrench before turning the power

Power Tool Use and Care

► Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for

your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

► Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on

and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

► Disconnect the plug from the power source before making

any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting

tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating

part of the tool may result in personal injury.

► Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all

times. This enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

► Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep

your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

► If devices are provided for the connection of dust extrac-

tion and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and

properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

► Always wear safety glasses complying with ANSI Z87.1.

Ordinary glasses are not proper protection.

the tool accidentally.

► Store idle tools out of reach of children and do not allow

persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

► Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of

moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by

4 Domino XL DF700

poorly maintained power tools.

► Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools

with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier

to control.

► Use the power tool, accessories, and tool bits etc. in accor-

Service

► Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person

using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that

Specic Safety Rules for Tenon Joiners

► Mortising bits must be rated for at least the speed recom-

mended on the tool. Mortising bits running over rated speed can y apart and cause injury.

► Always use the fence. The fence protects the operator from

unintentional contact with the mortising bit. When the fence is removed from the joiner, the spinning and oscillating cutter

is exposed and can cause serious injury.

► Keep hands away from the cutting area. Never place your

hand on the front face of the fence while the tool is running.

► Use only Festool authorized mortising bits. Non-approved

mortising bits can come loose during operation.

► Never use dull or damaged mortising bits. Dull or damaged

dance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power

tool for operations different from those intended could result

in a hazardous situation.

► To reduce the risk of serious injury, never alter or misuse the

power tool.

the safety of the power tool is maintained.

mortising bits can cause the tool to lurch sideways unexpectedly and lead to a loss of control of the power tool.

► Do not operate the tool if the spring-loaded fence does not

return to its forward rest position. The fence covers the mortising bit and prevents accidental contact. If the slides of the fence do not move freely, have the tool serviced immediately.

► Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An

exposed cutter may engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.

► Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the

workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or

against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Respiratory Exposure Safety Warnings

► Substantial or repeated inhalation of dust and other airborne

contaminants, in particular those with a smaller particle size, may cause respiratory or other illnesses. Various dusts created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contain chemicals or substances known (to the State of California and others) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals/substances are:

► lead from lead-based paints;

► crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry

products;

► arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber; and

► some wood dusts, especially from hardwoods, but also from

some softwoods such as Western Red Cedar.

► The risk from these exposures varies, depending on how

often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and use a

properly functioning dust extraction system. When the inhalation of dust cannot be substantially controlled, i.e., kept at or

near the ambient (background) level, the operator and any bystanders should wear a respirator approved by NIOSH for

the type of dust encountered.

All metric dimensions are controlling. Mortising bit dimen-

sions are critical for safe operation, and are presented in metric units only.

Intended Use

The Domino tenon joiner is designed to produce mortises in

soft and hard wood, chip board, plywood and ber boards. All

applications beyond this are regarded as improper use. The tool should not be altered or used for any other purpose other

than as specied in these operating instructions. Using the

Supplemental Owner’s Manual 5

tool in contravention to this manual may lead to injury and will void your warranty. The user shall be responsible and liable for

accidents, injury, and property damage resulting from misuse or abuse of this tool.

Functional Description

The Domino DF 700 Tenon Joiner is used to cut mortises in wood for oating tenon joinery. Mortise and tenon joinery

is one of the oldest and strongest methods of joining pieces

of wood together. The Domino tenon joiner greatly simpli-

es the task of cutting mating mortises in workpieces to be connected together. A rotating and oscillating cutter sweeps across the workpiece to quickly and effortlessly cut a uniform mortise, in which a Domino oating tenon is inserted.

Setting Up a New Domino Joiner

Congratulations on your purchase of a new Festool Domino Tenon Joiner. The Domino joiner is the nest portable loose tenon joiner in the world. Before using your new Domino

joiner, make sure you fully read and understand all of the precautions and safety information presented in this manual.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury from contact

with a moving part, always unplug the joiner before

making any inspections or adjustments, or before

installing or removing any accessory!

1. With the joiner unplugged, inspect the mortising bit. Make sure it is not bent, chipped, or otherwise damaged,

and make sure the bit is fully tightened on the spindle.

(Refer to “Changing the Mortising Bit” on page 9 for more information).

CAUTION! Check regularly whether the mortising

bit is in good condition. Mortising bits that are bent

or damaged can break, and should no longer be used.

2. Peel off the protective lm from the bottom of the joiner baseplate.

3. Set up the joiner for the appropriate type of operation as described throughout the remainder of this section.

4. Make sure that the fence height and angle locking levers

are properly tightened.

5. Install the power cord into the Plug-It receptacle on the joiner (refer to page 10 for more information).

6. Before you use the joiner, make sure to read the ”Overview, General Notes, and Tips” on page 10.

Setting the Fence Angle

Some joints require the fence to be set to an angle from the

mortising bit. The most common application is for making a

mitered joint (see page 16).

1. Unplug the joiner for safety.

2. Loosen the fence angle locking lever by rotating it counterclockwise about ¼-turn.

3. Rotate the fence face to the desired angle, and tighten the locking lever.

Notes:

► The fence has detent stops at 22½, 45, 67½, and 90

degrees.

► Use the gauge pointer for setting the fence to angles other

than the ones listed above.

► For greater stability, the locking lever clamps down on

both right and left sides of the fence.

The table below provides some common miter angles for

easy reference.
